District 54 Virtual Run to Read Weekend: Sept. 25-27
The year 2020 has proven to be quite an unpredictable year for all of us. For the past 16 years, the District 54 Run to Read has been a race dedicated to promoting health and wellness for all ages. With that in mind, our 17th annual Run to Read is going virtual. Run or walk anytime from Sept. 25-27 and make sure to share your photos with us by using the hashtag #54Run2Read.

All money raised this year will be donated to the D54 Foundation Crisis Fund, to provide food and other necessary supplies to District 54 families who are struggling financially during this pandemic.

As in years past, you can choose from a variety of distances. Pick the distance that works for you and map out a route near your home. If walking is more your style, pick a distance and walk it instead. You can also sponsor a student so they can participate free of charge.

Every registrant will receive a Tshirt and a medal. To receive the T-shirt before the event, please make sure to register by Sept. 8, 2020. Any orders received after Sept. 8 will be delivered to participants as soon as possible. T-shirts and medals will be shipped to your home. For more information and to register, visit www.sd54.org/runtoread 

A Message from PTA
The beginning of this school year looks a lot different for everyone. Fox PTA is trying to make it as easy as possible for our families to still stay connected and make sure the students at Fox School still have an amazing school year.  

We would like to let you in on a great secret here at ANNE FOX – our FOX PTA donates a lot to give back to our school.  You have already received your newest Fox School t-shirt at supply pickup that was purchased with PTA funds raised from our numerous fundraisers last year. While we may not be able to host the fun events like Homecoming and the Valentine’s Day Dance, we are working on putting together virtual events to keep our Fox Family connections strong.  

We are confident that we will someday soon be able to offer some of the great fundraisers that our Fox students love like Pizza Day, Hot Lunch, Tuesday Treats. Sweet Treat Wednesday and Holiday Workshop, but for the foreseeable future most of our fundraising committees have had to be put on hold. We are looking at fun alternatives that can be purchased online and will keep you all updated throughout the school year.  

The funds from any fundraising we run this school year will have a direct impact on the events and functions we will be able to host NEXT school year. Hopefully some of the fundraising options we choose this year will be something that your families will enjoy. We would love to hear your suggestions as well!!  

In the Spring your child will have the opportunity to apply for the STC Summer Scholarship.  The Summer Scholarship can be used toward summer camps etc. Your child will only be eligible to apply for the scholarship if you are a member of our PTA.   

To sign up for your PTA Membership online, please click on this Membership Link.  You may also fill out a membership form and drop off your $6.00 Cash or Check made payable to Anne Fox PTA to the Fox PTA drop box at Fox School.  You will then receive your Membership card by email.

Dear Fox Community,

We are excited that District 54 will celebrate our first ever International Dot Day. This day began from the book The Dot by well-known author Peter H. Reynolds.  His book, The Dot, celebrates creativity, collaboration and bravery and encourages us to “Make our Mark” no matter how small we start!  Although this is a student non-attendance day, activities and ideas will be shared across all grade levels and all buildings district wide. Our school will also have a padlet where students can share a picture, post or video of their creation or act.  You’ll be able to access the interactive link for activities next Wednesday, September 16^th. We hope you’ll join us and share how YOU decide to make YOUR mark and share YOUR creativity!  We can’t wait to see where these ideas take YOU!

Día internacional  de “El Punto” ( “Dot Day”)
Estamos emocionados de que el Distrito 54 celebre nuestro primer Día Internacional de “El Punto, el próximo  miércoles 16 de septiembre. Este día comenzó con el libro The Dot ( El Punto) del conocido autor Peter H. Reynolds. El libro, The Dot, celebra la creatividad, la colaboración y la valentía y nos anima a “Dejar nuestra huella”, ¡sin importar cuán pequeño sea nuestro comienzo! Aunque este es un día en que los estudiantes no tendrán clases, las actividades e ideas se compartirán en todos los niveles de grado y en todos los edificios del distrito. Nuestra escuela también tendrá un padlet donde los estudiantes podrán compartir una foto, publicación o video de su creación o acto. Podrás acceder al enlace interactivo de actividades el próximo miércoles 16 de septiembre. Esperamos que se una a nosotros y comparta cómo USTED decide dejar SU huella y compartir SU creatividad. ¡Estamos deseosos de ver a dónde le llevan estas ideas!

Thank you, Fox community, for your support, patience, and grace as we navigated through this week of instruction. Thank you to our staff, parents, guardians, family and friends that have helped make the week successful. We are looking forward to another great week of learning!

Fall Virtual MAP Assessment
This Fall we will be continuing to test kindergarten through eighth grade students using the MAP assessment tool.  This year the computer based assessment will be administered to the students while they are in a remote environment.  The purpose of the assessment will be to inform teachers of the immediate instructional needs of students.  MAP results equip educators with key data to help personalize instruction and pinpoint individual student needs.  

With this being our first time remote testing it will be important to partner with families to help this new process be as successful as possible.  If families have any technical difficulties while attempting to complete the assessment they can call our MAP hotline at: 847-357-5154.

Important Details on the Virtual MAP Assessment:

• Communication regarding the date and time of the assessment was communicated.
• Students in grades kindergarten through second grade will begin a test session on Zoom with the teacher.  A caregiver must be present to support the child logging into Zoom and into the test session.  
• Our students in third grade through eighth grade will be proctored by a teacher via Zoom while they complete the assessment.
• Students in grades kindergarten through second grade have 90 minutes to complete the assessment.
• Students in third grade through eighth grade have 120 minutes to complete the assessment.
• If your child does not complete the MAP assessment in this window the test will not be scored.  
• Please note that this data will be used to inform your child’s teacher for instructional purposes, therefore we ask that parents refrain from assisting their child with answering questions on the MAP assessment. 

General MAP Schedule

• Tuesday, September 8: Grade 3 Reading; Grade 6 Reading
• Wednesday, September 9: Grade 2 Reading; Grade 6 Math 
• Thursday, September 10: Grade 4 Reading; Grade 2 and Grade 3 Math
• Friday, September 11: Grade 4 Math; Grade 1 and Grade 5 Reading
• Monday, September 14: Kindergarten Reading, Grade 1 and Grade 5 Math 

• Tuesday, September 15: Kindergarten Math

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or proctor for more details.

Evaluación MAP de otoño en Plataforma Virtual

Este otoño continuaremos evaluando a los estudiantes de kinder  a octavo grado usando la herramienta de evaluación MAP. Este año, la evaluación computarizada será administrada a los estudiantes mientras se encuentran en un entorno remoto. El propósito de la evaluación será informar a los maestros acerca de las necesidades educativas inmediatas de los estudiantes. Los resultados de MAP equipan a los educadores con datos clave para ayudar a personalizar la instrucción e identificar las necesidades individuales de los estudiantes.

Debido a que esta es nuestra primera prueba remota, será importante que trabajemos en conjunto con las familias para ayudar a que este nuevo proceso sea lo más exitoso posible. Si las familias tienen dificultades técnicas al intentar completar la evaluación, pueden llamar a nuestra línea directa de MAP al: 847-357-5154.

Detalles importantes acerca de la evaluación de MAP en Plataforma Virtual:

• La comunicación con respecto a la fecha y hora de la evaluación provendrá por parte del maestro de su hijo.
• Los estudiantes de kinder a segundo grado comenzarán una sesión de prueba en Zoom con el maestro. Un padre deberá estar presente para ayudar al niño a iniciar la sesión en Zoom y la sesión de prueba.
• Nuestros estudiantes de tercero a octavo grado serán supervisados ​​por un maestro a través de Zoom mientras completan la evaluación.
• Los estudiantes de kinder a segundo grado tendrán 90 minutos para completar la evaluación.
• Los estudiantes de tercero a octavo grado tendrán 120 minutos para completar la evaluación.
• Si su hijo no completa la evaluación MAP en esta ventana, la prueba no se calificará.
• Tenga en cuenta que estos datos se utilizarán para informar al maestro de su hijo con fines educativos, por lo tanto, les pedimos a los padres que se abstengan de ayudar a sus hijos contestar preguntas sobre la evaluación MAP.

Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en comunicarse directamente  con el maestro de su hijo para obtener más detalles.

Student Privacy
We have enjoyed a successful first week of remote learning.  One important request we are making of our parents at this time is to please not record Zoom/Google Meet sessions or take photographs of students in your child’s class during Zoom/Google Meet sessions.  This request is made out of respect for the privacy of the other students in your child’s class.  If you have specific questions or concerns regarding this, please contact me directly.

Students will be engaged in a blended learning experience using both online and print materials, and we want to ensure they have all the appropriate items.  We have devised a drive through pick-up schedule so students are prepared for learning on the first day of school on August 31st.  

We ask that parents/guardians follow the flow of traffic through the parking lot for curbside pick-up of curriculum materials. Parents and students will remain in their cars. Once cars pull up to the school, a staff member will place a bag with all of the curricular items your child will need to start the year remotely.

Additional Information

• Place a piece of paper indicating your child’s first and last name, and room number in the passenger window of your vehicle. This will help staff easily identify you as you drive thru. 

• Appropriate social distancing guidelines will be adhered to and masks will be required. 
• Please follow the assigned times below.
• If you have items that need to be returned to the school (i.e library books, textbooks, etc…), parents are asked to place all district materials into one bag labeled with their child’s name and the name of their classroom teacher.  Parents will be asked to place this bag in the trunk of their car.  These bags will be returned to the library to be sorted.
